Suicide?????????????

Question

Have you ever been close to someone that committed suicide? If so, how did it affect you?

Answer 1

No.  

Answer 2

My Uncle did, but I only knew him when I was little, it affected my Mum though, although she doesn't show it often.

Also my Nan obviously got very upset, he did it on her birthday, and every year she feels he did it to spite her. I don't think he did though, he was depressed because his wife had died and didn't know what day it was. So his intentions to leave quietly and be with his wife led my Nan to think that she was to blame etc, suicide hurts everyone who knows you to some degree.

Answer 3

Yes.  My grandmother shot herself.  It was heartwrenching to know that she was in that much pain.  I wish she would have gotten help.  She was so talented.  But so miserable.  We should have done intervention...why did we talk ourselves out of it?

Answer 4

Yes.

It was very shocking.

Answer 5

My best friend and sister killed themselves together, It definately has affected me, I feel like dying myself
